SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 490,247, date Jan ary 17, 1893.

Application filed March 23,1892. Serial No. 426,176. (No model.)

To all whom it nm-y concern..-

lieit known that we, TAYLOR GLOVER and THOMAS J. JEAN, citizeusof the United States, residing at lllaryville, in the county of Nodaway and State of Missouri, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

Figure 1 of the drawings is an elevation of grease cup applied to a shaft bearing. Fig.

2 is a sectional view of same. Fig. 3 is an elevation showing the-cup applied to a crosshead. 1 I v 'This' invention'has relation to automatically controlled lubrioators or grease cups for use in connection with shaft or journal bearings, and it consists in the novel constructlon and combination of parts as hereinafter specified. p

In the accompanying drawings, the letter .A designates a suitable cup or receptacle, of

any suitable size or shape, which is mounted upon the box or' bearing block in which is the shaft or journal which is to be lubricated.

In the drawings, the letter B designates a bearing block or box, and O a shaft turning therein.

In the bottom of the cup orreceptacle A is a small passage or aperture a, leading to th bearing surfaces.

D is an oscillating arm having loose bearings in apertures formed in the side walls of the cup or receptacle, across which it extends diametrically, usually a short distance below the upper end of the cup. At the center of the cup, said arm or shaft is formed with a depending loop or crank d, towhich is loosely connected a feeder or plunger F, the lower end of which works in the aperture 'or passage a'. The shaft D is extended at one end outside of the cup, as shown at D, and hasa depending arm or crank G, the lower end of which is in proximity to the shaft 0.. 0n said shaft 0 is an eccentric or cam projection H, which, as the shaft lrevolves, comes intermittently into contact with the arm or crank G, causing an oscillation of the shaft D in its bearings. This movement actuates the quantity of oil or lnbricator to pass to the bearingthrough the passage a, at each revolution of the shaft. It is of course Ob Vl0llS ter of the bearing, and the quantity of lubricator required. The manner of connection described, according to the character of the bearing without departing from the spirit may also be oscillated by a connection with a wrist pin or cross head pin of an engine, as shown in Fig. 3.

' Patent is:

cup, comprising'th'e cup or receptaclehaving a small passage or aperture through its bottom, an oscillating crank rod or shaft D hava plunger connected to the crank 11 of said rod or shaft within said cup, said plunger at through its bottom, of a plunger, workin'gin said aperture, the crank shaft to which said plunger is connected, said shaft' extending tacle, and having bearings in the side walls thereof, the crank armG on the projecting end of said shaft, and an eccentric portion to intermittently oscillate said arm and shaft, substantially as specified.

feeder F, in such a manner as to permit a that the size of the cup and of the aperturea. and the feeder, will depend upon the characand scope of the invention. The-feederJE Having describedthis invention, whatwe claim as new and desire to secure by Letters may also be varied somewhat from the above 1. The herein described lubricator or grease ing bearings formed in the side walls of said cup or receptacle near the upper end thereof,

its lower end working in said passage or transversely across within said cup or recepv on a-moving par't'of the machinery arranged In testimony whereof we affix our signatures
